Photo of the Day: Tristen

A few weeks ago, I featured two of my photos from my first-ever session at a real studio, Iris Photography in Seattle, in early October. I have so many great shots from that session that it's worth reprising the theme and sharing with you a few more images. This is one of my favorites simply because Tristen is clearly so comfortable in her skin; there's an ease and naturalness about her that is, in my opinion, very beautiful. We'd already taken a round of photos without props, and the photographer before me gave her this gold veil for some extra business to work with; it led to so great poses. Another one is below, which I love because of the prominent tattoo, which, for me, significantly adds to the character of the portrait, and reveals some of Tristen's personality, even without her face being visible.

Both of these photos are also available in color: the one above here, the one below here. I prefer the black and white versions, but only barely, and reserve my right to change my mind. Which do you like better?

the soul in man is not an organ, but animates and exercises all the organs; is not a function, like the power of memory, of calculation, of comparison, but uses these as hands and feet; is not a faculty, but a light; is not the intellect or the will, but the master of the intellect and the will; is the background of our being, in which they lie, — an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed. From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.
